Rude awakening

Speaking of chickens ... this fellow was very mellow. So mellow that he was having a nice little nap amidst all the hubbub. I had to ask if he was blind, because he didn't open his eyes even when I was petting him. "No, he's just used to it. He can sleep through anything."
Well, almost anything. This little girl came along and reached out a tentative hand ...
Then snatched it back and let out an ear-piercing SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!
Sorry, buddy, naptime's over.
